Introducing Ghanshyam Sarode: Ghanshyam Sarode, a C.A. aspirant turned craft revivalist, has brought new life to Uppada saris by introducing the Dhakai Jamdani weaving technique in geometric and floral motifs. While he is best known for his pioneering efforts to revive the Uppada sari, the jewel in his portfolio remains the restored interlocking brocade Paithani, a traditional Maharashtrian royal weave worn today at weddings. His richly patterned cotton-silk and silk Uppadas are also much sought after festive and bridal wear.

Working with weavers across the country he combines the ethnic methods of dyeing and weaving with modern technology.
